I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm tired of diets. I'm tired of the weight loss / gain yo-yo. Before I lose all hope of ever getting this weight off, I've decided to make a drastic move. May 31st, 2010 I'll be or will have had weight loss surgery. After much research, I've decided to go with the gastric sleeve. After even much more research, I've decided to have it done in Mexico. So there, the secret is out. Wish me luck on my journey.

Update - 9 Months Out

I found on my computer an online diary that I started back in January 2010. The content was profound and gross at the same time. I copied and pasted the diary to this blog....less I forget. If you want to read it (warning: grossness), go back to around that date. At that time, I was discouraged because I'd realized that lapband surgery was an impossibility due to the American cost so I was going to 'pretend' I'd had the surgery and try to live on the lapband diet. Virtual Lapband surgery is what I called it. Thing is, I couldn't do it.

BUT yeah GOD, He was still in control. God in his mercy opened up the doors for me to go to Mexico and get a better surgery (Vertical or Gastric Sleeve) for a fraction of the American band cost! I had excellent care and would do it again in a split second if need be. I'm 9 months in now and down 108 lbs weighing in at 158 lbs from 266. I now wear a loose size 12 jeans and medium top. =D
